Refreshments and Lunches

The Tea Room serves morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea.

Please let us know in advance that you will be bringing a group to ensure we are able to offer you the best service and choice. Larger groups are asked to pre-order their meals.

As the Tea Room is not open to the public at the times when we offer guided tours, we request that all refreshments and meals are pre-ordered.

For help and advice about booking your group visit, please telephone our dedicated Group Booking Organiser, Marcia McLuckie, on 01748 818178.

Access

The ground floor, Tea Room, gardens and some areas of the grounds are accessible.

We regret we are unable to offer a lift to the upper floors, which are accessed by two long, shallow staircases. For those unable to manage the stairs there are folders of information and photographs to browse in the Tea Room.

Talks
